The hike to Mt. Sawyer is a nice quick day hike. The trail is in excellent shape and the trail head from the Tonga Ridge trail is easy to spot. The hike to the top of Mt. Sawyer is basically snow free. There were 2 small patches that were maybe 10' across. You could see the trail easily from both sides.

There is no water on this trail, so be sure to bring some. There were bugs today, they weren't too bad as long as you were moving, but at the top bug spray would have been a benefit, not necessary, but nice to have.

Spotting the trail

Posted by Easy does it at Jul 27, 2010 04:12 PM
Forgot to add that the trail to Mt. Sawyer is about 2 miles up. After you cross a kind of meadow with a couple off-shoot looking trails and maybe some camping spots, you will hike a little further. There is a piece of Pink flagging tape tied to a branch that is easy to spot. The trail climbs steeply at first from there.
